Mazunte is a small beach town on the Pacific coast in Oaxaca, Mexico (15°39′53″N 96°33′14″W / 15.66485°N 96.55388°W / 15.66485; -96.55388). It is located 22 km southwest of San Pedro Pochutla on coastal Highway 200. Mazunte is located some 10 km to the west of Puerto Angel and just about 1 km from San Agustinillo and 264 km south of the capital of Oaxaca. There are two etymologies for the name. Some sources state that “Mazunte” is derived from a Nahuatl phrase, “maxotetia” which means “please deposit eggs here.” However, older residents of the community state that it is from the word “mizontle,” used by locals to refer to a crab species that used to be very abundant in the area.
Things to do in Mazunte
1. Restaurant Poseda San Cristobal
Reviewed By Shou1
This beach front restaurant is sadly not one of the most talked about in Zipolite. It's quiet and the decoration is basic...more for the Mexican tourists I think. It's a family operated business and they are very friendly and attentive. Itdoes not sell alcool except wine, so no fancy cocktails here. But they do allow you to bring your beer or drinks ( except wine, which they sell) so, in a way it's not as expensive as other restaurants if you drink beer.the food is delicious, though no extravagant eye catching presentations. The prices are similar to other restaurants. The service is excellent.What we especially appreciate is the view and the wind while you eat. It's not hot and stuffy because, basically, you are outside on the beach with your feet in the sand!

Went there for the first time last night... it was deliciously great! The ribs were meaty and sooo tasty! We will be going back soon. Our waitress was spot on. Attentive, not overbearing. Wonderful food and service. Nice to have another Zipo fav! It is across from Don de Franco's on the main street.
